[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 34944, member: 3579"] Okay, so in preparation.... How does one go about finding a "good" facility, dual-diagnosis or otherwise? I do a search of substance abuse facilities in my insurance plan, and I get three pages. Of course, all their web sites have glowing recommendations from "alumni", but how do you really know? If - [b]IF[/b] my son ends up needing (and agreeing to) treatment in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC), we're only going to get one good chance with him. If it sucks for him, doesn't help, then he'll come out worse than before, AND he'll completely ditch us for convincing him to go. General consensus is that he'll be worse off than before he went in, and will probably relapse harder than before he went in as well (out of sheer spite, if nothing else). So, how to choose? How to know which facility? Such an important decision, if it has to be made...... Any help appreciated. Thanks, Mikey [/QUOTE]
